About the Talk
Deborah was first introduced to ACT as a client in 2010 and in this pub talk she will explore how she has applied ACT to music performance anxiety – first addressing her own challenges, then working out how to teach ACT to other musicians who also struggle to perform their best under pressure.

WEBINAR: Emily Sandoz – Making a Meaningful Difference in the Room

$15 ACT IG students, $25 students, $15 ACT IG members,

$25 APS & ANZ ACBS Members, $45 non-members (inc. GST)

This webinar will provide an introduction to ACT as Clinical Behavior Analysis. Participants will consider a simple but effective behavioral framework for providing clients opportunities to develop flexible, adaptive, and expansive patterns of behavior that extend far beyond the therapy room. Far from being cold or overly technical, such a framework brings clinicians closer to practicing ACT in a way that is connected, compassionate, and closely attuned to process.
